<p>Looking at our defensive starters, the lack of talent or lack of experience becomes obvious. Of the 17 defensive players listed on the depth chart for the Duke game as either starters or co-starters, only 4 (or 24%) were 4-star recruits or better. OF those 4, only 1 (Chickillo) is an upperclassman. Taking a look at a few of the lesser-rated recruits and who offered them scholarships:</p>
<p>Jimmy Gaines - Miami, Buffalo, UCONN, Syracuse</p>
<p>A.J. Highsmith - Miami, Boston College</p>
<p>Shayon Green - Miami, Auburn, Kent State, Ole Miss, Purdue, USF, UCF</p>
<p>Olsen Pierre - Miami, Temple</p>
<p>Antonio Crawford - Miami, Ball State, Bowling Green, FIU, Georgia Tech, Iowa State, Ohio, South Alabama</p>
<p>Ladarius Gunter - Miami, Indiana, North Texas</p>
<p>Rayshawn Jenkins - Miami, Alabama, Cincinnati, UCONN, Florida A&amp;M, Iowa State, USF</p>
<p>While disappointed in the team&#39;s performance, I firmly believe the problem is not coaching but recruiting, which has been hampered by the NCAA investigation. The incoming class (2014) is an improvement. By the 2015 class, we better be competing against the major programs for top talent AND winning those recruits. If not, Golden is not the answer and we should cut ties. Also, Coley should add considerably to our recruiting efforts by the 2015 class.</p>
<p>Keep the faith and have patience I say!</p>Rick sandlin commented on 'Golden discusses defensive philosophy, other notes from Tuesday (w/video)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019b01693737970d2013-11-21T03:38:46Z2013-11-21T03:38:46ZRick sandlinMUST READ >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sad will make UUUUUU wanna cry http://www.pageqsports.com/2013/11/miamis-soft-bigotry-of-low-expectations/#.Uo0c4-2Tc1w.twitter ......<p>MUST READ &gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt; Sad will make UUUUUU wanna cry http://www.pageqsports.com/2013/11/miamis-soft-bigotry-of-low-expectations/#.Uo0c4-2Tc1w.twitter ......</p>Canesjunkie commented on 'Golden discusses defensive philosophy, other notes from Tuesday (w/video)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019b0168397e970b2013-11-21T02:32:24Z2013-11-21T02:32:24ZCanesjunkieWaiver wire...lol.

A good coach would coach them up to being the best that they can be. That is clearly not happening here. Let&#39;s take Alabama for example. There defense looks like they have nothing but top flight NFL talent but the production of there players when they get to the NFL has not been great with exception of a couple players. That is because the coaching at Alabama is in a totally different class than UM. They make average players look good and good talent look great. The last two weeks I have watched Alabamas defense closely and UM does nothing the same as far as threatening the line of scrimmage with linebackers and safeties. I could not understand why when I watched the duke game that UM linebackers so often were 5-7 yards off line and safeties were 12-15 yards off and then would sit and wait to react on the snap. You would have thought that Duke had the best TE and passing attack in the nation. Mean while they&#39;re killing us with 8 yard runs and we are playing to defend a prolific passing attack. Sorry but that&#39;s not the players fault that is on coaching. The coaches keep talking about tackling but you have to at least put your players in the best formations to be affective. </p>it's football season! commented on 'Golden discusses defensive philosophy, other notes from Tuesday (w/video)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019b01658ae8970b2013-11-20T20:21:31Z2013-11-20T20:30:43Zit's football season!

Valentine and Thomas have first-round talent. Valentine at 6-4, 320, is more physically impressive than anyone Miami has, and he moves like a running back.</p>
<p>It&#39;s lack of talent...not coaching!! </p>
<p>Posted by: Ron Zook | November 19, 2013 at 09:29 PM </p>
<p>But Blustein disagrees. He said Valentine needs to get in better shape, and “next year, you would never compete with those [freshmen] kids. They’ll be manhandled.” </p>
<p>Fishbein believes a trio of four-star UM oral commitments --- defensive linemen Travonte Valentine, Anthony Moten and Chad Thomas --- can be big contributors immediately, though Soldinger said that’s an awful lot to expect from freshmen defensive linemen.</p>
<p></p>
<p><br />
.</p>
<p>Conveniently left those parts out huh ? Blind Homer opinions from Fishbein and U aren&#39;t just like azzzholes, they are azzzholes.</p>
<p>How many Freshman DT&#39;s are on this team from the 2013 Class ? How many Redshirt Freshman DT&#39;s from the 2012 Class ? Pppppffffffffffffffffffffffffffttttttttttt !</p>
<p>“The defense could struggle again next season and give up chunks of yardage,” Blustein said. “Linebacker is not deep. They need to add junior college tackles that can come in immediately and play. They’re teetering on basically the same situation next season.&quot; </p>
<p>Soooooo, it&#39;s back to the JUCO &quot;waiver wire&quot; the next few years to not just get a DT or two for depth, but rather fortify Ur D-Line with as many as 4-5 limited 300+lb FATAZZZ no talent slugs to man Ur DT positions again in 2014 and beyond... Or as Top-Programs Recruiting Directors call it, &quot;That&#39;s not how we recruit here. We bring Top Talent in as Freshman, Redshirt them and develope them to contribute as Redshirt Sophs.&quot; </p>

Golden throws far too many schollies around to unranked-2 Star projects with minimal talent (or as he calls it, &quot;potential&quot; yeah, Temple &quot;potential&quot; maybe), but high &quot;upside&quot; character kids. Simple fact, if 10-12 of these types cycle in every year, all you have is nearly 40-50 of these &quot;projects&quot; making up half of your developmental depth. The Top-Programs DONOT build this way. They take maybe 2-3 2-Stars a year and maybe 10-12 max make up their entire roster.</p>
<p>It starts with having Thoroughbreds. 2-DEEP Thoroughbreds... We have a few... Horses too... But way too many Donkeys n Jackazzes that see extended playing time.<br />

Duke is the reason I am upset. VT and FSU were game that I looked at in the start of the season and said, &quot;those will be tough games&quot;. I EXPECT to beat Duke. If we went 9-3 with losses to UF, FSU and VT, at the start of the season I would say ok, those are tough games and I would have taken a 9-3 season. Since 9-3 is better than 7-5 and improvement. </p>

<p>Would U feel better &quot;if&quot; the U beat Duke and then lost to either UNC or Wake ? I&#39;m sure both UNC and Wake thinks they should have beaten Miami. It&#39;s those 2 games that say more about Miami and who they are than any others. The mere fact that they had to pull those out in the final seconds is more than telling where this team is at. And the Gators drove into the Miami Redzone 5 times coming away with ZERO points in a 5 point game with a missed FG and 4 turnovers.

But for some reason the &quot;U&quot; failed to ride that momentum into the rest of their season. I still believe that the &quot;U&quot; never truly recovered both mentally and physically from the FSU second half beat down. Because even with the injuries and lack of talent this team was good enough to win a very bad Coastal Division. The loss to freaken Duke should have never happened, especially after V-Tech lost earlier in the day. The Duke loss proved that this &quot;U&quot; team was still not ready to play football two weeks after the FSU loss.

<p> Now coach goldie is saying &quot;the last couple of weeks&quot; trying to focus in on just the losses, it hasn&#39;t been good in the squeak by wins either. This guy is a moron trying to talk over peoples heads trying to use psychology to hide him &amp; his boys ineptness. When in reality, coach goldie is no better than the snitch, this guy is a con-artist his damyum self. </p>
<p> Harriet TUBMAN keeps pointing it out, and i said it when it first came up, if coach goldie was that True to UM, he would&#39;ve never had taken that raise and just said i&#39;ll just take the extension, that would&#39;ve been understandable. </p>
<p> People keep saying &quot;cause coach goldie stuck by us&quot; hell, shannon would&#39;ve still been the headcaoch investigation or no investigation, to many people giving coach goldie credit for perfect attendance, if somebody is stupid enuff to pay alot of yall over 2million a year for not doing nothing exceptional but for showing up, most of yall would have perfect attendance to.</p>
<p> I keep hearing people say &quot;Coach goldie has done an exceptional job in recruiting while the investigation was underway&quot; which is comical, lol.</p>
<p> Trying to get recruits to come here while an inviible investigation is underway that people can put in the un-seen category is one thing, people act like that was tough to do.</p>
<p> When the real challenge is really just starting to take shape, cause the investigation was basically minuscule, the challenge is going to be trying to explain how the defense has been this bad for the 3 years coach goldie and clown 500 have been. To many teams got real seen proof that they have the right coaches in place to coach defense. When Fsu goes into a recruits living room and basically ask them now &quot;We know you are a Miami Hurricane fan, what you like about them?<br />
recruit: I love how they play defense and how they play with confidence(mis-interpreted as swagger) and how they play with a lot of energy and just dominate teams.</p>
<p> Recruiter from other school: Did you see the 30 for 30?</p>
<p> Recruit: Yes, about 10 times</p>
<p>Recruiter from other school: No doubt, those teams definitely knew how to play defense, back than, BACK THAN! But let us show you what they&#39;re doing now, that&#39;s nowhere near those same UM teams you fell in Love with nor are they near that dominant, in fact they&#39;re not even a solid defense, here&#39;s what happened when they played duke, here&#39;s what happened when we played duke, now you tell me who looks more like they&#39;re playing that style of dominant defense today!<br />

<p>Yeah, yeah, heard that before in 2008. You&#39;re just repeating yourself ad nauseam. Ever the eternal optimist, but it&#39;s not just past getting old. It is old. This 2014 class won&#39;t help on the field until 2015 if that. That&#39;s the problem. We count on Freshamn constantly instead of ready developed upperclassmen. Year after year, it&#39;s unsustainable. Top-Programs NEVER rely on Freshman. They just plug a few in from time to time. </p>
<p>Problem is, that out of the 28 commits (yes there are 8-10 really nice 4-Stars and a few solid 3-Stars), at least 10-12 of them were UNRANKED and 2-Star kids that have limited offers from a few bad D-1 schools and mostly 1-AA and D-2 schools. Now that they have committed to Miami, the Recruiting websites bump them up to barely 3-Star kids based solely on the fact that Miami offered, not actual talent. Every year, especially after the Jan. and Feb. decommits, Golden throws far too many schollies around to unranked-2 Star projects with minimal talent (or as he calls it, &quot;potential&quot; yeah, Temple &quot;potential&quot; maybe), but high &quot;upside&quot; character kids. Simple fact, if 10-12 of these types cycle in every year, all you have is nearly 40-50 of these &quot;projects&quot; making up half of your developmental depth. The Top-Programs DONOT build this way. They take maybe 2-3 2-Stars a year and maybe 10-12 max make up their entire roster.</p>
<p>Point is, the vast majority of Miami&#39;s players, minus a few good O-Linemen and WR&#39;s, Duke, a corner or two and Perryman, there are well over 50-60 players on this squad that would be Scout Teamers in Top-10-15 Programs.</p>
<p>It starts with having Thoroughbreds. 2-DEEP Thoroughbreds... We have a few... Horses too... But way too many Donkeys n Jackazzes that see extended playing time.</p>HarrietTubmanCane commented on 'Golden discusses defensive philosophy, other notes from Tuesday (w/video)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019b01638f06970c2013-11-20T17:23:58Z2013-11-20T17:23:58ZHarrietTubmanCaneAnd despite Golden promising their parents (during recruitment) that he'd take the lead on helping them actualize those development initiatives.<p>And despite Golden promising their parents (during recruitment) that he&#39;d take the lead on helping them actualize those development initiatives. </p>HarrietTubmanCane commented on 'Golden discusses defensive philosophy, other notes from Tuesday (w/video)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019b01647122970d2013-11-20T17:21:38Z2013-11-20T17:21:38ZHarrietTubmanCaneFACT: TGMoney-your daily posts are redundant, filled with hearsay and riddled with excuses.

<p>There are no players developing or being recognized for honors and awards because of the scheme that slows them down and works against there natural abilities.</p>
<p>So keep calling yourself a Cane all the while--throwing the players under the bus, but at the same time expecting recruits to come play for UM when all the onus of mental, physical, and emotionally development is on them exclusively. </p>Canefan72 commented on 'Golden discusses defensive philosophy, other notes from Tuesday (w/video)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019b01644525970d2013-11-20T17:03:46Z2013-11-20T17:04:22ZCanefan72It is incredible that goldie says he is joined at the hip with d'o, that they will continue to use...<p>It is incredible that goldie says he is joined at the hip with d&#39;o, that they will continue to use the 3-4 even though it has been proven to be a weak, bend and break NO defense against the run, NO defense against the pass, allowing huge yardage and huge scores against the Canes. </p>
<p>And then, the SOB has the nerve to blame the players, needing development, not doing their assignments, not big enough, not enough players even though it is his scheme which is a failure.</p>
<p>The dumb SOB can not even count. Six offensive linemen and a running back will run over three defensive Cane linemen EVERY PLAY. And the other team will make 5-8 yards inside and outside especially because goldie and d&#39;o want the LBs five yards off the line of scrimmage. You just can not fix stupid.</p>
<p>And there is simply NO way three Cane defensive linemen can rush through 6 offensive blockers to get any pressure on the other QB before he finds a receiver sitting in a gap in d&#39;os and goldie&#39;s ZONE NO pass coverage setup.</p>
<p>As to big, tough linemen, goldie needs to stop his whining and put in four defensive linemen and keep them in the WHOLE game. goldie is wearing out the three down Cane linemen in the first quarter by them having to take on two blockers every stinking play. </p>
<p>One last thing. When any team WINS, it is the players who won the game. When any team loses, it is the coaches who LOST the game. goldie is a bum who has stuck with a losing NO defensive setup for three years and still can not figure out he is a loser and his setup is setting the Canes up to lose every game. </p>
<p>And he is too stupid to change and too stupid to look at successful coaches who use four down linemen like Alabama AND DUKE even used last week against the Canes. Until goldie and d&#39;o are gone, all you will get is a losing team, demoralized, and goldie playing the blame game on everyone but himself.</p>
<p>Who will he blame next, the fans?

It&#39;s a known fact that the recruiting under coker and Shannon was a half assed effort that consisted of &quot;recruiting by mail&quot;. They were almost arrogant to think kids had no other options and would fall all over themselves to come here. That went out the window with the explosion of espn where a recruit realized he didn&#39;t have to go to a top 10 program, sit on the bench for two years, and then get on tv. Alex Collins is a perfect example and so is teddy bridgewater. Their decisions had nothing to do with who wears the whistle. Both wanted to start on day 1 and be on tv 12 times a year. Done and done. You come here to play for the U, not the coach. And stop lamenting the loss to a &quot;less talented&quot; duke squad. They placed the same number on the preseason all acc team that we did, TWO! And they had four players on BOTH sides of the ball receive votes. Not a SINGLE cane on D received as much as a SINGLE vote. That should tell you how our defensive talent is objectively viewed from the outside. Not as much as a single vote!!

<p>It is nice that he is not casting blame on the demoralized players for once. Geez, no one has been kicked off or left the team in a while either.</p>
<p>If you don&#39;t have a good defensive line, then why play a 3 - 4? If you don&#39;t have a good defensive line, then a 4 -3 will not be of much help unless the fourth player is great or the D line has additional support..</p>
<p>If you don&#39;t have a good defensive line with 3 or 4 guys, then move up your LBs and do run support and some blitzing. You are not keeping LBs back to prevent underneath throws, because that obviously does not work. </p>
<p>Unlike our guys, I don&#39;t recall seeing such open receivers. Pitch and catch time all day long.</p>
<p>Why are we often throwing into coverage? Why aren&#39;t our guys open? What is the opponent&#39;s defense doing to prevent this? Why don&#39;t WE try it?!!</p>
<p>I have never seen a defense destroyed with the underneath passing game as UM has been in the last three years in particular. Bizarre. Are the players that bad? I don&#39;t think so.</p>
<p>But the coaching is.</p>
<p>If you bring up your LBs, then you bring up the secondary as well. </p>
<p>This entire concept of how our defense is coached is utter garbage and makes no sense. It is fear-based, not one of attacking the opponent. </p>
<p>It is to avoid losing, and because it is about no confidence and fear by the coaches, we will play fearfully. Add the incessant blame by D&#39;Onofrio (he of the heavens, the Press Box), and a kid is scared to make an error.</p>
<p>Look at our pathetic record on defense. The confusion.</p>
<p>I truly believe Golden and D&#39;Onofrio don&#39;t get it and continue to think this is Penn State. It will never work against speed and good passing games, as well as combo QBs and quick, powerful running backs.</p>
<p>So will we see a new Heisman candidate at QB emerge for Virginia this weekend? </p>

It should be understood that due to the coaching transition from Shannon to now, the NCAA effecting recruiting, as well as many defensive guys either going pro early or getting kicked off the team, that we do not have the horses on defense. </p>
<p>HOWEVER, until you have the &quot;horses&quot; you need to implement a &quot;perfect&quot; system, you NEED to find a way to create sirloin steak out of chop meat, and give your offense a chance to win games. The defense cannot continue to just let this thing play out the way it is until we get better players. That means there needs to be different looks, different packages, a different approach. Some type of strategic attempt to keep the opposing offense off balance. </p>
<p>Discipline, strong fundamentals, mistake free playing would be a start. That happens with better practice habits. Desmond Howard reported on the Joe Rose show, that while attending Cane practices, he was remiss in seeing any tackling or fundamental drills occurring. First hour of practice always has to be fundamental, repetitive drills. Second hour of practice needs to be allocated to scrimmaging. </p>
<p>My concern about the young, inexperienced coaching staff, is that they may not know how to properly &quot;coach&quot; these kids up. That was the same problem we suffered under the Randy Shannon regime. He also recruited well, but the kids never were coached up. </p>
<p>This includes even on offense. The fact that Stephen Morris has to check to the sideline before he can audible, is ludicrous. Not only is it a disservice to him for his potential pro future, but it kills the offense&#39;s momentum on the field. If he can read a defense, notice a breakdown, he should be able to make the adjustment and go for it himself. Just the way Steve Walsh did with Michael Irvin to throw the game winning touchdown against FSU in 1987.</p>
<p>The University of Miami is quickly approaching 15 years before we have competed for a National Championship. That impasse is too critical for the community to continue in this direction. </p>
<p>I have confidence in Golden and do not doubt he is a hard worker and GREAT recruiter. But we can&#39;t just say, take the four or five years you need to build a program, and everyone will wait patiently. The current state of the program is past that patience factor. </p>
<p>If the administration wants to award the current coaching staff, due to their hard word, then lets do so. But do it in a structured format; do it with an ADVISORY BOARD made up of FORMER UM COACHES, PLAYERS, AND ALSO SAM JANKOVICH. </p>
<p>The University of Miami has not only the most pro players in NFL, but also the most coaches in the NFL, that have either coached or played at the U. That is a resource that not many other college programs can attest to, and also a resource that the University Administration would be crazy in not utilizing. It was sort of a &quot;dropped ball&quot; on the part of the administration in not having more than just Bernie Kosar participate in the interview process with Golden. Had this Advisory Board been in place, they could have discussed defensive scheme, etc. with Golden and Donofrio. </p>
<p>It is a former management style that the George Steinbrenner used with the Yankees.</p>
<p>An Advisory Board made up of former proven winners, can certainly render practical insight to Golden, as needed,without an agenda, to keep the ship headed in the right direction. You never want to undermine or give up on hard work. But we need to ensure that his hard work pays off. He of course, will benefit from this as well.<br />

Two of the turnovers occurred in VT territory and their offense still had to go over 50 yards for TDs. Miami was picked apart that game and could not stop a simple crossing route. Even if Miami did underestimate Va. Tech, whose fault is that - the players or the coaching staff? The coaching staff is responsible for ensuring that the players have the right mindset entering the game. It&#39;s even worse when the players are not ready for a rivalry game. </p>
<p>I didn&#39;t watch the games of the teams I listed above but I&#39;m sure they had some bad luck too. Still, they yielded less yards and less points than Miami. That is a fact. You say Miami often gets a team&#39;s best shot and that is the reason why Miami played worse than Troy, North Carolina Central, etc... However, you forget that teams usually run up the score and pad their stats against those opponents, just like Miami did against Savannah State. </p>
<p>All I hear is excuse after excuse for the defensive performances. Lack of depth, lack of talent, missed assignments, bad execution, etc... The truth is that Miami&#39;s talent is down but not down far enough where the opposing offenses of Duke and VaTech, who are dreadful by the way, are scoring TDs at will. Do you realize it is almost physically impossible for a defense to play worse than Miami&#39;s defense did against both Va. Tech and Duke? If you had no defensive coach and the players were left to fend for themselves, the result could not have been much worse. </p>
<p>It is a coach&#39;s job to maximize the talent that they have and put them in the best position to win. If you think D&#39;O has done that over the past two games it is pointless to have any further discussion on the issue. </p>Jim Gallo commented on 'Golden discusses defensive philosophy, other notes from Tuesday (w/video)'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019b0162b8bf970c2013-11-20T15:54:52Z2013-11-20T15:54:52ZJim GalloBut he, and we, know you are an effeminate loser who is a pedophile.

<p>Why did Golden choose this style of defense?</p>
<p>&quot;Because we didn&#39;t have a million defensive linemen,&quot; Golden said. &quot;We didn&#39;t have 16 defensive linemen. For the real big guys, the noses, you only needed a couple of those. [Curtis] Porter, Earl Moore, we had to bring [Justin] Renfrow in to have enough to go through the season. We didn&#39;t have the depth on the defensive line</p>
<p>we are talking depth...who said anything about talent?</p>
<p>UM = 16 defensive lineman (roster)<br />
vs<br />
Alabama = 13 defensive lineman (roster)</p>
<p>this is where incapable s search for answers....plenty of people in all business that look good on paper but cant execute.....but they get canned...no firm would allow this....those people would be gone.....</p>
